know about minimum sink maxi mum glide angle Minimum sink will very slow flying speed just below stall gilder coming down slowest trim will use lift Maximum glide angle plane covering ground amount altitude lost will fair ly fast flying speed isthe trim used looking lift getting out areas sink gliders can see pick up speed feed down trim suddenly flatten out really move called getting step' want adjust elevator throw full up trim plane just starting stall mush out Minimum sink will just below Max imum glide angle should just below neutral trim setting harder find just have fly fly will flying

floater like Olym pic Windrifter Wanderer Gentle Lady etc will have wing loading somewhere between 6 8 oz/ft2 higher-per formance plane like Sagitta Metrick Golden Eagle Pantera etc will be tween 8 10 oz/ft2 very high-per formance ship like Bounty Hunter Camaro Fiesta Antares etc will be tween 10 14 oz/ft2 can increased addition lead ballast CG will make plane fly faster very useful windy days other adjustment can make improve performance tow hook position farther back set steeper plane will climb tow moved too far back plane will get very wild tow Move back far dare very small increments Also adding up trim back stick launch will steepen climb Again too much plane will get very violent stall towa very scary situation Add much dare covers basics setting up Sailplane fly well Flying
